When the pandemic began, many people were out of luck when it came to attending sporting events, movies, concerts, gyms, parties, and festivals. For this reason, many people turned to outdoor activities as the solution to their boredom. Hiking provides a way to get exercise in a way that is safe in these unusual times.
